Collège Boréal cuts down on plastic water bottles

Collège Boréal staff member Jöelle Beaulieu fills up at one of the new drinking fountains recently installed at the school.

The fountains are designed to save and provide optimal quality water to staff and students.

The college staff members were given free refillable stainless steel water bottles on Earth Day (Thursday) to reduce the use of bottled water and plastic bottles.

Students are scheduled to receive reusable bottles this September. Earth Day has been celebrated globally for the last 40 years.
